And off we go...

Well, the graduation party that my family threw for me has come and gone. It was a GREAT time. Good times, great food/drinks, and fabulous friends. Unfortunately, not everyone could make it, but I still had a great time. Now, onwards to job training and finishing up my two online classes.

Before the party, my mom and I headed up to Perimeter Mall to find a tank top that I had seen at Ann Taylor Loft and wanted to get to wear to my party. Well, needless to say, we ended up getting more. I got my first three pieces of clothing from Anthropologie and I am MORE than excited to wear them out. I did not get this tank, but I just might have to go back and get it.

Need luggage?

After my escapade to California last summer (which I'm sure many of you have heard about), I am so thankful for the luggage that I brought with me. See, as I am a female, I like to overpack. I like to bring EVERYTHING possible. I like variety and I like options. I used this Vera Bradley large duffel to use as I made my way through five flights, many states, 5 different airports, and many arguments with the boyfriend. It probably saved my sanity through this trip.

I've always loved Vera Bradley. Since high school, I've had my fair share of purses, wallets, etc. I still use my large makeup bag in the Cafe Latte pattern, along with a mini makeup bag in Bali blue for my jewelry. I have the large duffel in Bali Gold and Peacock (I don't believe in having the same pattern twice). My love for Vera was confirmed when I rushed a sorority in college. I am a Kappa Delta, and one of the founders of Vera Bradley was a KD! So, as you can guess, we had Vera stuff all over our house.

My brother-in-law hates Vera, but that didn't stop me from getting my sister a large duffel in Mesa Red. My friend Ashley loved my Bali Gold duffel so much, she convinced her boyfriend to get it for her for Christmas (complete with monogram). My mom has one also. 

While I don't use my purses or wallets anymore from Vera, I can't help but be obsessed with the duffels. Plus, some of their older colors are on sale!

Life as a college graduate begins...

On my first official day as a college graduate (sort of; I'm not counting my online class), I spent it having jury duty! Rah. Luckily, I was finished by noon. I then received word that my nephew was sick, so I volunteered to watch him on Tuesday while he was sick. As much as I love my nephew, he was a handful today. He is beginning the "separation anxiety" stage, so he was not happy that I was not his mother nor his father. All ended well, and I still love my Buddha.

I want to get myself something as a celebration for me graduating college and getting a full time job. I don't know what to get though. I'm heading up to the outlets on Thursday with one of my best friends Rebecca, so maybe I will find something. If not...I'm sure I can figure something out. :-)

Newest Obsession...

As everyone knows, my main television obsession is Dancing with the Stars. Not a day goes by that I don't wish I was a C-List celebrity so I could get a chance to dance with Louis van Amstel, Tony Dovolani, or Jonathan Roberts. Just YUM. But afterwards, there is an AWESOME show that you should check out. 10:00 EST!!!

Top Two Tuesday!

Since I seem to get a ton of things from my friend Lauren's blog, I figured I would continue my trend.

1. Necklaces.
-I am absolutely obsessed with necklaces. I never used to be an accessory person, but I have lately gotten into them. My current favorite is a three strand turquoise stone necklace from Francesca's. I can't find a picture online of it, but it is similar to this one.

2. Sunglasses
-I have very pale blue eyes, so anytime I spend in the sun without sunglasses is painful. I can't bring myself to spend a lot of money on sunglasses, since I go through them pretty quickly. I absolutely live in the ones I found from Target two years ago and am on my third pair. I also have the most adorable sunglasses case given to me by my friend Rebecca last Christmas (similar to the one shown here).

I hope you enjoyed your Tuesday! Time to finish this paper.
